You got an AMAZING deal!! Is the window glass or plastic? I have an 89 4cyl vert, and it came with no rear window. I needed to get a back window but I didnt have enough for the whole top, so I bought a glass window and my dad and i decided to try to put it in ourselves. If you notice(this is for glass windows, i dont know if its diff for plastic), there is a piece of fabric with with a zipper under one of the bars for the vert frame, the other half of the zipper is connected ot a piece of fabric surrounding the window itself. What we did was just unzipped the window from the fabric, unbloted the bar from the other end, and took out all the staples stapling the window to the bar. That part was very simple, the only glitch in our plan was that the zippers from the old and new top didnt match up, it was like two sides without the zipper itself rather than one of each. So we kindof forced it to zipper togteher as a temporary thing till I get a new top. I don't think thats necessarily the best thing to do, but maybe it would work better for you.

Also I have the SAME mirror problem, I have bought a new switch and everything, and we don't think its the switch thats the problem cuz that didnt do any good. I hope some1 has the answer to that problem!
